Miking a drum kit (idea)

Miking a drum kit is a daunting task that leaves even the most experienced studio engineers scratching their heads when asked about the perfect method. There are entire 4- and 6-piece mic kits that are made solely for miking drums, but these are sometimes restrictive of the warmth you can get from a good condenser mic.

If you want to mic your kit for recording without spending alot of money on a specialized mic set, you're in luck.

Materials

2 condenser mics. These will each need a phantom power supply (unless your board is equipped with one,) and 2 cables (each, except in the event of a powered board.)
